Detectives making enquiries into the circumstances of a collision are asking for public help as part of their investigation.

The collision happened in Overlord Drive, Hinckley, at around 5.45pm yesterday (Wednesday). A car, a white Kia Sportage, was in collision with two children.

A 10-year-old girl and nine-year-old boy were taken to Birmingham Children’s Hospital with serious injuries. They remain in hospital.

No arrests have been made and inquiries are continuing.

Detective Constable Michael Woods, the investigating officer, said: “This collision happened in a residential area when people are likely to have been arriving home from work. Did you see the collision or did you see either the two children or the car beforehand?

“If you have information of any kind that could help my investigation, then please contact me.”
